It has been nearly two months since getting home from Havana and I can’t seem to get it out of my mind. Everything you see and read about Havana is true. The classic cars, a city paused in time, the music, the rum… It is a magical place. Hot and steamy, beautiful, loud, political, and… Read More Images of Havana
We just got the confirmation that we will be staying here in Munich for another year! This is great news. After only two years in England and then two in Australia the thought of picking up and moving again this summer was not something we were excited to do. We really enjoy living in Munich… Read More Why I love international schools
It’s fall break and we are spending five days in Croatia. Jamie did some research and we decided to stay in Volosko, a little town known for its seafood restaurants and just a few minutes outside of Opatija more of a resort destination.

But what I’ve found is that… Read More Homemade: Tortillas

When I first saw the school calendar I was surprised to see the time actually listed as ski week, not half term or mid-winter break, but pretty soon Jamie mentioned that everyone at work also referred to the break as ski week as… Read More Ski Week
I don’t really know where I’m going with this post as it is a question I have been turning over in my head since we got back from our trip to the States last week. It may end up a bit more wandering than usual. We had a great trip back, Christmas with the family… Read More Home
